Huh. That's an interesting interpretation. I mean ... I wasn't going to aim for trying to make this person fall in love, I just wanted to see if it was inevitable in this kind of circumstance. Plus, isn't there as much emotional "risk" to me? I'm not looking just to see if he falls in love, I want to see if we fall in love. I wasn't thinking of this as a "using" type project at all.

I think the key here is that the project is based on deception. You know what you're potentially getting involved in. The poor guy on the other end has no opportunity to make that choice, or to give any kind of informed consent. It's the difference between making a parachute jump and throwing someone out of a plane with a chute strapped to them.

? But it's not based on deception. I'm not deceiving anyone. The project is based on finding an interesting pen-pal who I can relate to but never plan to meet. The only question I have is whether or not it's inevitable that people fall in love in such circumstances. If it's not, then we won't. Like I said, I'm not aiming to seduce this person. How am I deceiving them?
